General InformationLift Plan Document # Plan prepared by:
Describe the load or items to be lifted:
Could the load, if dropped, release hazardousmaterials or
radioactivity?
No Yes (describe)
Is the load irreplaceable or would it be very costly toreplace
if damaged?
No Yes (describe)
Brief description of lift activities (specify if rolling or
flipping involved)
Equipment InformationEquipment ID: Equipment custodian:
Rated capacity: Operator capacity :
Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE)Steel-toedshoes
Required for all personnel involved with lift activity to
protect from crushing of feet/toes
Gloves Required when handling materials or guiding a load
Hard hat Required for all personnel under the bridge of a moving
bridge crane and whenever the potential for head injuryexists ( eg.
working near a load where the head could contact load)
Safetyglasses
Required when potential exists for objects to fall into eyes
(eg. working under bridge of crane and looking up)
Other(specify)
Hazards and Additional InformationIdentify and list additional
hazards such as obstacles in load or operator path, magnetic
devices in area, foot traffic,oily materials, other activities in
area, etc.) and how the hazards will be controlled or
mitigated.
Rigging DetailsAttach a rigging sketch or photographs to
documentation the rigging configuration that will be used. Include
enoughdetail to allow the rigger to select appropriately rated
gear. Record any H&R process feedback and Improvement
ifapplicable.
ApprovalsAny supervisor authorizing personnel to use this plan
must first review and approve the plan. Lifts that involveflipping
or rolling the load require SSRL Rigging Panel approval. Lifts that
involve loads that, if dropped, couldrelease hazardous or
radioactive materials or loads that are irreplaceable or very
costly to replace require approvalfrom the SSRL Safety Officer and
the SSRL Rigging Panel member.

Guidelines for Generating a Rigging Sketch
The lift plan required a rigging sketch or photographs that
include information that needed to calculate theforces on all of
the rigging gear used in the lifting activity. This allows the
rigger to select appropriatelyrated gear.
A very simple way to communicate rigging details is to rig the
item, take a digital photo of the setup, andthen write supporting
information and details directly on a print of the photo.
Alternatively, you can make avery simple sketch of the item, or use
blueprints or other drawings- or combination of these
techniques.
Below is a general approach that can be used to document rigging
details. The page numbers includedbelow refer to pages in Bobs
Overhead Crane & Rigging Handbook (2nd edition).
Step 1. Document the loadPhotograph (including rigging gear if
possible) or make a simple sketch of the load.Measure the load, and
enter the general dimensions on the sketch or photo.Indicate the
vertical and horizontal center of gravity on the sketch or photo.
(pg 98-101)Enter the weight of the item on the sketch or photo.
(pg. 83-97)
Step 2. Show how the item will be rigged
If a below-the-hook lifting device will be used (eg. lifting
fixture, spreader bar, basket, multi-leg bridle, etc): add it to
the sketch or photo (if not already shown) in the
approximateposition of where it will be used.Record weight and
serial # of lifting on the sketch or photo.Show how the item to be
lifted will be attached to the lifting device or crane hook If the
itemhas lifting points, show their location on the sketch or photo.
If they are threaded holes forinstalling hardware, indicate the
diameter and depth of the holes. Identify all hardware to beused
such as (eg. shackles, eyebolts, lift rings). If eyebolts are used
for angular lifts, showproper eyebolt orientation. (pg. 164) If the
item is hitched directly with slings, show types ofhitches used
(pg. 173-180).Show how the lifting device attaches to the crane
including slings or other hardware used.Calculate the total weight
of the load (item plus all rigging gear) and enter on the sketch
or
photo. Ensure that it does not exceed the rating of the
crane.Step 3. Calculate forces on all rigging gear
Designate the specific rating or minimum rating for all rigging
gear and hardware.Calculate the sling loads (pg. 102-108) and enter
the information for each sling/leg on yoursketch. Your sketch
should include all the information necessary to perform
thesecalculations as well as the calculations themselves.It is
preferred that eyebolts be used only for vertical lifts. If
eyebolts are used for angularlifts, calculate the load angle
factors and minimum size and rating required for the eyebolts.(pg.
164). Also, indicate that eyebolts must be shouldered on the
sketch.
Step 4. If your activity will include rolling, turning, or
flipping a load.Show the direction of the rolling activities and
the orientation of the chocker hitches.
If a come-along or chain fall will be used to assist in the
roll, draw them in your sketch andinclude information on the forces
applied to them (similar to Step 3).Identify on the lift plan that
two persons will be required to perform the rolling activity.
Step 5.If applicable record any hoist and rigging process
feedback and improvement.Discuss and record any hoisting and
rigging process feedback and improvement. This can
be added onto the area provided for sketches or attach an
additional sheet of paper withcomments.
